Chapter 248 We’ll see you in seven days
Baron Franklin held it in for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out how to praise his precious grandson.
Comfort potion?
It was really fun, and I died immediately after drinking it.
His first reaction was: How could this thing be classified as a potion?
Isn't this the poison that stalkers like to use?
After thinking about it carefully, Baron Franklin had to admit:
"It seems...is it really a magic potion?"
The point of poison is to seal the throat at the sight of blood. The faster it takes effect, the better, and the smaller the dosage required, the better.
The best one is the kind that just cuts a wound on the body, and a small amount of poison will flow into the blood and it will have an effect, killing the target.
The soothing potions described by Gale are different.
It has the characteristics of a standard potion, that is, it needs to meet specific "ritual conditions" to be effective:
It must be used by the user himself, and it is useless if someone else pours it in.
You must drink the entire potion. If you only take one sip or half of the potion, it will not take effect.
The comfort potion is indeed a magic potion in terms of characteristics.
But why should the result be linked to death on the spot?
Baron Franklin thought for a long time, what kind of person would need this magic potion?
A guy who is tired of living and doesn’t want to live anymore?
If you really don’t want to live, there are obviously many ways to kill someone.
Wipe the neck and stab the heart;
If you want to save costs, you can hang yourself.
Or using the power of the environment, jumping from rivers to cliffs, etc., the results will be the same!
Why spend extra money to buy an expensive potion just to kill yourself.
Baron Franklin was puzzled!
……
From the perspective of people who don't know the inside story of the [rebirth] magic, the effect of the comfort potion is outrageous.
But there is really a huge market demand for this thing in the current knowledge-seeking church!
The reason is that although death itself is no longer scary, some ways of dying can be very torturous!
It would be okay to be instantly killed by a monster during a battle.
The most fearful thing is that serious injuries cannot be cured and they will not die within a few minutes.
This is the most tortured time.
Various situations such as hypoxic asphyxia, colic and convulsions may occur, which are additional pains to be suffered.
Many believers have complained about this.
They are not afraid of death now, but they are afraid that they will die slowly.
Because of the tremendous pain caused before death, many believers who migrated from Greenport are afraid to continue fighting the monsters head-on after dying once.
They would rather slowly accumulate some destiny points through other methods, and then ask others to guide them to gain legendary experience, rather than fight in person.
It's like listening to horror stories.
Although I know that I will not be harmed in the end, I am still scared mentally and physically!
Gale realized there was a gap in the market.
The magic potion creates a truly "quick and painless death", which perfectly solves the problem of followers of the Seeking Church dying too slowly.
Carry a bottle of comfort potion with you. When you judge that the situation is hopeless, drink the potion and you will be able to return to the Altar of Creation in 10 seconds.
It saves a lot of pain that must be experienced before death.
Gale is sure that the emergence of this kind of magic potion will definitely sell well among the followers of the God of Knowledge!
Moreover, the current comfort potion is still an inferior version.
The idea came from Hugo's "Kill you 3000". Gale's original plan was that this potion would not only allow for a painless death, but also minimize the loss of legendary experience when picking up the body.
When he prayed to Norwin for knowledge and received a response, Gale discovered that the genuine comfort potion that fit his plan contained a lot of materials that could not be obtained in the Dark Forest or the Ceylon Territory. Either go to the place where the corresponding materials are produced to purchase them;
Or arrange for someone to fly to Greenport and entrust someone to purchase them there.
Considering the current situation, Gale did the next best thing and chose to replace it with an inferior version first.
After all, the material cost of the genuine Anle potion is much higher.
After refining it, Gale also had to consider whether it could be sold.
Nowadays, believers are generally at level 1 to level 2, with very few at level 3. The legendary experience lost by death can be made up for by just one or two days of hard work.
The inferior version will suffice.
However, Gale encountered difficulties in refining the comfort potion.
…
Knowledge related to the formulation of comfort potions, including the use of voodoo magic,
This also means that this knowledge can only be redeemed by believers themselves by spending destiny points.
At this stage, apart from Gale and Hugo, among the believers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, there is no one who is proficient in the knowledge and magic related to potion preparation.
Hugo was a dabbler at best, and his main goal was not potions.
Gale alone, even if he went from refining medicine with his eyes open to refining it with his eyes closed, could not satisfy the huge demand of the Church of Knowledge.
For this part of the demand gap, if Gale can find a way to successfully recruit his grandfather and father into the church, the two ready-made potion masters will be enough to open up an almost unlimited sales prospect for the Franklin family's potion store!
But this is also the biggest difficulty Gale faces.
Trying to proselytize a baron from the Realak Kingdom was much more difficult than preaching to a commoner.
Nobles enjoy real benefits in the Kingdom of Reyak.
Estate income was readily available.
Converting to the God of Knowledge and joining the church meant giving up these existing aristocratic benefits.
Compared to his noble status in the kingdom, Baron Franklin prefers to run a stable potion business, which is safer.
But converting to a heretic and heading to a new territory in the Dark Forest is obviously more dangerous than the kingdom's nobles going to the front lines during the monster red tide!
Gayle needed to prove the advantages of converting.
He must have a basis that can perfectly impress his family!
Gale plans to use the simplest and most direct way to prove this point.
"Grandpa, you once said, what is the highest pursuit of a potion master?"
Baron Franklin twirled his long white beard and replied: "Of course, preventing death is a proposition that all potionists are looking for answers to."
Magic potions have all kinds of wonderful effects, from assisting life, to improving combat, with a large number of material combinations and combinations. No one can make a conclusion on how many things a magic potion refined under the influence of voodoo magic can do. .
But potion masters have a common pursuit until now.
That is to refine a magic potion that prevents death.
In other words, a magic potion that can bring the dead back to life like [Great Resurrection].
However, so far, all potions masters who claim to be able to do this are either liars or lunatics.
Some even claim that the power of the Voodoo God cannot prevent death at all.
Gale smiled and took out a small crystal bottle from his arms, which contained a thick red potion.
"Easy Potion."
"Grandpa, grandma, father and mother, please don't be surprised or afraid of what happens next. Please wait patiently for 7 days."
"I'll see you in seven days."
Uncork the bottle and drink it in one gulp.
